Everlasting Love and Small Adventures/Episode 1 - Storyline

Episode 1

Katya	...
Lisbeth	Huh...I wonder what this is. Mom?
Katya	Hm? What is it, Liz?
Lisbeth	It was stuck between this book. Is it a pressed flower?
Katya	Oh! That's the Stub Rule! I thought I hadn't seen it in a while, but there it is in the magic book.
Lisbeth	Stub Rule?
Katya	It's a flower that blooms deep within the forest, even in the snow. I got it from him.
Lisbeth	From Dad?
Katya	When a man proposes, he gives flowers that don't wilt even in the cold as an expression of everlasting love.
Lisbeth	Everlasting love, huh? That sounds beautiful! I'm jealous, Mom.
Katya	I didn't know about the meaning behind it, but one day he picked this flower for me. It's been many years since then, but I kept it pressed. I should really put it on display.
Lisbeth	Oh! Hey! Be careful with that!
Katya	Ack! It broke...
Lisbeth	Ohh! N-no...!
Katya	It's a pressed flower, so they fall apart easily I suppose. I still have my memories.
Lisbeth	... ...

Alma	I'm so bored...it should be a crime. I wish something would happen, something that's like "BOOM!"
Rebecca	The major terrorist incident is why we're stuck in our dormitories, right? But you know, something strange is happening...
Alma	Yes...something unusual.
Lisbeth	... ...
Rebecca	Liz is looking serious... D-don't tell me she's thinking of studying...?!
Alma	The snow'll never stop at this rate...Liz!!!
Lisbeth	What?! Alma?! What's gotten into you?!
Alma	Me? What about you? What were you thinking?
Lisbeth	Um, well...it's about the Stub Rule flower...
Rebecca	... ...
Alma	... ...
Rebecca	Stub Rule?! No...no way, Liz!!! Did you...get it from someone?!
Alma	Who? Who gave it to you?! This is just a wild guess, but was it...um D...D...?
Lisbeth	No, no, no! I just want to go pick one myself...
Rebecca	Pick one yourself? But you're a girl! It's supposed to be what a gentleman gives when he proposes to a girl, you know?
Lisbeth	Um...well...
A moment later...
Alma	I see. You want to replace the broken Stub Rule with a new one for your mom.
Rebecca	Well, it's not a carnation...
Lisbeth	Do you think it's a bad idea?
Rebecca	Powerful monsters lie deep inside the forest. I can't imagine leaving the dorm and going to such a place without the teacher's permission—
Alma	Sounds fun! I'm in! I was interested in doing some snow mountain climbing myself!
Lisbeth	Are you interested in the Stub Rule? Wait...is there someone you like, Alma?
Alma	Does this look like a face that's in love?
Lisbeth	... ...
Alma	How on earth could a superstition about eternal love come from a country where a guy turns into a bug the moment he declares it...? Talk about irony... It's usually all just hearsay. Still, if we're gonna try to get to the bottom of it all, I'm in!
Lisbeth	Alma...!

Lisbeth	...
Rebecca	... ...
Alma	So you came as well, Rebecca? That must mean you're in love, right?
Rebecca	I-I just didn't think it would be safe for the two of you to go alone. If something were to happen, as class chairperson I would be the one who would have to deal with it!
Alma	Fine, fine. Let's just say that's what's going on.
